Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

"Jia Nu is right, Director Zhou has made another good movie!"

Han Sanping, who was beside Zhou Qing, also exclaimed in satisfaction.

Although he has been away from China Entertainment for four years, Director Zhou's level is still as high as ever.

"Yes, the movie 'Dying to Survive' was really well made."

La Peikang also nodded in agreement and gave high recognition and praise to "Dying to Survive".

With the quality of "Dying to Survive" and director Zhou's strong appeal, the box office should be good, right?

If nothing unexpected happens, I will be able to create a blockbuster that is both critically acclaimed and a box office hit like Han Sanping.

When he thought of this, La Peikang felt himself getting excited.

His eyes were filled with endless anticipation.

"Uncle Han, Mr. La, it's not that I filmed it well, but that Jia Nu wrote the script well."

Facing the two CEOs of China Film, Zhou Qing waved his hand modestly and praised Han Jianu.

"Stop flattering this beautiful lady. She's almost floating to the sky now."

Han Sanping smiled, but he couldn't suppress the pride on his face.

"Old Han, it is true that a good father will have a good daughter. This time, your daughter has really impressed us."

La Peikang also followed Zhou Qing's words and praised Han Jianu.

This made Han Sanping laugh so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes.

Thinking that his precious children's fame would surely spread after the movie became a big hit, the Third Master felt even more elated.

It seems that I was too wise to ask Han Jianu to make friends with Zhou Qing.

"Director Zhou, you have held many box office records for Chinese-language films. During the years when you were making commercial films, you have always been the box office champion of Chinese-language films."

"But since you started to enter Hollywood four years ago, the Chinese-language film market has changed a lot. The film records you held have been broken, and your box office champion has been taken away by others."

"You are back to making Chinese-language films this time. Are you confident that you can win the box office championship again?"

During the post-screening interview, Zhou Qing was asked an extremely sharp question.

All eyes at the scene were on Zhou Qing.

In fact, everyone is quite curious about whether Zhou Qing can make a comeback as a king after returning to China Entertainment four years later.

"In my opinion, records are meant to be broken, aren't they?"

Facing everyone's gaze, Zhou Qing smiled gently and gave a calm answer.

"It's not surprising that my record is broken, and of course, it's not surprising that I break other people's records."

"So, records and championships are only temporary, but the emotions that movies can bring to people are permanent."

"Compared to those things, what I care more about is making a good movie."

“If the audience is moved and infected at some point after watching ‘Dying to Survive’, then I feel I have succeeded.”

This answer obviously could not satisfy the reporters or the audience.

"Director Zhou, do you think the box office of 'Dying to Survive' can surpass that of 'Monster Hunt'?"

Another reporter asked in a more blunt manner.

"I think so?"

Zhou Qing paused deliberately when he said this.

After whetting everyone's appetite, he smiled and said, "I don't think it's a big problem."

The scene suddenly became lively. Director Zhou openly declared that his film would surpass "Monster Hunt".

Especially the media reporters, each of them was even more excited because they would have articles to write when they returned.

"I've already made a big promise, everyone should go to the cinema to show their support, but please don't let me embarrass you."

Zhou Qing used a joking way to get votes for himself.

"The tear-jerking premiere of 'Dying to Survive' received rave reviews, with thunderous applause from the audience that lasted for a long time."

"Director Zhou Qing said that the box office of 'Dying to Survive' will surpass 'Monster Hunt' and regain the top spot."

"Dying to Survive premieres. Can Director Zhou still dominate Chinese entertainment after four years?"

The premiere was very successful and successfully made "Dying to Survive" the headlines.

It also brought everyone's expectations to a peak.

Everyone is eager to see director Zhou Qing's work, which is his return to Chinese entertainment four years later.

Especially Zhou Qing’s fans, all of them were subconsciously rubbing their hands in anticipation.

Just waiting to cheer for Zhou Qing and celebrate his return as a king.

They believed that Zhou Qing would be able to regain the box office championship as he said.

"Qingzi, do you really think that 'Dying to Survive' can surpass 'Monster Hunt'?"

Huang Bo, the leading actor, was surprised and delighted, and couldn't help but confirm with Zhou Qing again and again.

He was certainly optimistic about the box office of "Dying to Survive". After all, every movie directed by Aoko is a hit.

But even so, Huang Bo never thought that the box office of "Dying to Survive" would exceed 20 billion.

This is just an ordinary drama movie.

In Huang Bo's opinion, it would not be a problem to surpass "Your Name" or even "Life of Pi".

But Huang Bo didn't expect more.

But Huang Bo never could have imagined that Zhou Qing would openly say that his film could surpass "Monster Hunt"!
Indeed, deliberately pulling down other movies and shouting out loud slogans to attract attention is a very common promotional method in the circle.

For example, Zhou Qing’s movies have been criticized countless times.

I don't know how many decent films have claimed to surpass Zhou Qing's films.

It’s easy to break 10 billion or 20 billion, the loudest and most eye-catching thing to do.

Whether it can be achieved or not is not important, people are just using it to hype themselves up.

But Huang Bo knew Zhou Qing very well. As the top director in Chinese entertainment, Zhou Qing never bothered to use such means.

Therefore, there is only one possibility for Zhou Qing to shout out slogans such as surpassing "Monster Hunt".

Zhou Qing really thinks so!
Zhou Qing really thinks so!
"Don't you have the confidence?"

Zhou Qing asked Huang Bo a question as a matter of course, which made Huang Bo stunned for a moment.

Qingzi is really confident.

Good thing!

That's a good thing!
After all, Qingzi's vision is rarely wrong.

"Yes, of course I have! 'Dying to Survive' will definitely surpass 'Monster Hunt'!"

Huang Bo immediately nodded in agreement, and the smile on his face was as bright as the sun.

Liu Yifei was the same, her face was full of smiles.

Of course she believed what Zhou Qing said.

Since Zhou Qing is so optimistic about the box office of "Dying to Survive", the box office of "Dying to Survive" will definitely not be bad.

There will definitely be no problem surpassing "Monster Hunt" and the like.

Zhou Qing returns to Chinese entertainment after four years and will reach the top again!
Although Liu Yifei did not appear in "Dying to Survive", the girl couldn't help but feel happy when she thought about this kind of thing.

Then the problem is coming.

Will the box office of "Dying to Survive" really surpass "Monster Hunt" as Zhou Qing said?

Huang Bo, Liu Yifei, Zhou Qing's fans, and the entire circle are all waiting to see what happens.

"Director Zhou Qing is back as a king! 'Dying to Survive' was a huge hit, with a box office of 2.5 million on the first day!" "'Dying to Survive' grossed 2.5 million on the first day of its release. Zhou Qing's strong appeal is amazing."

"Zhou Qing's film 'Dying to Survive' set off a viewing frenzy, with a first-day box office of 2.5 million yuan, setting a new record!"

"Dying to Survive" was released on New Year's Day, and the first-day box office was revealed immediately.

It immediately shocked the hearts of everyone in the circle.

2.5 billion.

A full 2.5 million!

This is a bit too exaggerated!
You know, there aren’t many movies these days that can gross over 2 million.

That’s right, although the Chinese entertainment film market has been booming in the past two years, the number of high-grossing films has increased explosively.

But a box office of 2 million is actually a very high box office.

Take the 15 years in the original time and space for example, a box office of 2 million yuan would rank in the top 20 of the domestic film box office rankings.

For example, "Breaking Wind", with a box office of 2.6 million yuan, ranked directly 17th on the annual box office list.

It can be seen that a box office of 2 million is not an easy achievement to achieve.

As a result, "Dying to Survive" achieved this goal in just one day?
It’s really hard for everyone in the circle to stay calm.

Too fierce.

Director Zhou returns after four years, and he is still as vigorous as ever.

The first-day box office of 2.5 million broke the record again.

Throughout the history of Chinese entertainment films, no film has ever achieved such an exaggerated first-day box office!

There are no such films in domestic films, nor in Hollywood blockbusters.

Not to mention a first-day box office of over 2 million, even a first-day box office of over million is something that only a few films can achieve.

For example, the box office of "Monster Hunt" was 1.7 million, which was groundbreaking at the time.

I don’t know how many people were shocked.

As a result, in just a blink of an eye, the first-day box office of "Dying to Survive" was 8 million higher than that of "Monster Hunt"!

hiss!
I don't know how many people gasped.

It seems that what Director Zhou said before about surpassing "Monster Hunt" was not just talk!

"A first-day box office of 2.5 million? Can a Chinese-language film actually achieve this level?"

Not to mention others, even Master Zhang was shocked by this data.

You have to know that the current box office ceiling for Chinese-language films is only over 10 billion.

The more than 20 billion yuan of "Monster Hunt" is just an example.

But even the movie "Monster Hunt", which grossed over 20 billion yuan, only earned 1.7 million yuan on the first day.

As a result, the first-day box office of "Dying to Survive" was 8000 million higher than that of "Monster Hunt"?
You know, 8000 million is not a small number!

If you count on your fingers, there are many movies with a box office of billion, but their first-day box office does not even reach 10 million.

Based on the first day box office, what would the total box office of "Dying to Survive" be?
I’m afraid 20 billion is not the bottom line?

30 billion is not impossible!

30……

Gudong.

This number made Master Zhang swallow hard.

I can't hold it anymore, I really can't hold it anymore.

Originally, Master Zhang had high ambitions for his "The Great Wall" and thought he could go head-on with Zhou Qing.

But even though Master Zhang had great confidence in "The Great Wall", he only thought that it would only gross over 10 billion yuan.

If it is postponed like "Monster Hunt", it might be able to earn more than 20 billion.

Master Zhang never dared to think about 30 billion!
But does Zhou Qing already have a great chance of getting this number that he has never even thought about?
Is it necessary to be so stimulating?
"2.5 million! Good! Very good! Director Zhou is worthy of his name!"

La Peikang, the current chairman of China Film Corporation, couldn't help but slap his thighs repeatedly, and even the closed office door couldn't block out his loud laughter.

Although La Peikang already knew that Zhou Qing was directing the film, he knew that the box office of "Dying to Survive" would be good no matter what.

But I didn't expect it to be so exaggerated.

It directly broke 2 million!

From this perspective, isn’t it a foregone conclusion that it will surpass “Monster Hunt”?

it is good!
It’s really good!
"Dying to Survive" is undoubtedly the most explosive and successful film produced by La Peikang since he took over the China Film Corporation.

none of them.

And all this was brought to him by Zhou Qing.

"It has to be Director Zhou."

In addition to being excited, La Peikang couldn't help but exclaim like this.

With the development of the times, the mainland film market has flourished to a level that was previously unimaginable.

Countless capable and talented filmmakers continue to emerge, creating one box office miracle after another.

It can be said that the big directors such as Zhang Chen and Feng who once dominated the mainland film market have all "failed".

Just take the present day for example, there are a lot of Chinese-language films with box office revenues of 10 million or million yuan, and breaking billion yuan is no longer uncommon.

There have been several this year alone.

Even "Monster Hunt" has broken 20 billion.

But what about the great directors Zhang, Chen, and Feng?
There is no need to talk about poet Chen. The commercial films he shoots have never had any impressive statistics.

Of course, the same goes for art films. After "Farewell My Concubine", poet Chen really has no works to show off.

Where is Master Zhang?

The highest-grossing film, "The Flowers of War", only grossed 6 million yuan.

Feng Xiaogang's highest-grossing film, "Personal Tailor", only grossed 7 million yuan.

Where is Jiang Wen?
Although "One Step Away" set such high standards, its total box office was only 5 million yuan, even lower than "Let the Bullets Fly".

Not to mention taking these data to the entire Chinese entertainment industry, the movies released by Zhou Qing Pictures were all suppressed casually.

This kind of environment makes all these great directors seem like they are just like everyone else.

Director Zhou is the only exception. If he doesn't make a move, it's fine. But when he does, it's still so explosive.

Still breaking records as before!
As expected, Director Zhou.

"2.5 million, Qingzi, the first-day box office of 'Dying to Survive' was so high!"

Zhou Qing Films, Huang Bo's excited and excited voice almost blew the roof off.

"Dying to Survive" was really as Qingzi said, the results were a blast.

With such an exaggerated start, it is really no problem for "Dying to Survive" to surpass "Monster Hunt" and the like.

It’s no problem for “Dying to Survive” to earn over 20 billion at the box office.

And it's not like "Monster Hunt" that relies on postponement.

"Dying to Survive" was able to achieve such results within a one-calendar-month release period.

Needless to say, its value is truly extraordinary.

How could Huang Bo remain calm when he thought about the fact that he was the lead actor in a movie of this level? (End of this chapter)
